Karen Kruschka - Fairfax Prince William  Stafford County VA Real Estate Service: Real Estate Agent in Springfield, VA

Prospero's, Manassas VA



While in Historic Manassas I visited Prospero's Bookstore on Center Street. As you can see by the photos it is the kind of bookstore you visit when you want

  • Antiquarian books
  • Antiqe Maps and Prints
  • Military History Books
  • History Books
  • Fiction (hard cover and paperback)
  • A broad range of topics

It is extremely well organized with nooks and crannies that invite liesurely book browsing. The only way to describe the store is that it exudes an air of authenticity coupled with the antique charm of the 90 year old building it calls home.

Karen Kruschka Business Card

Does This Crowd Look Like It Could Win A War?

Karen Kruschka - Fairfax Prince William  Stafford County VA Real Estate Service: Real Estate Agent in Springfield, VA

The title above was a comment made by a gentleman who was part of a group of men and women enjoying a light breakfast together and assembling for the Veteran's Day Parade in Manassas VA.

American Legion Post 10 of Manassas conceived, planned and managed the Inaugural Veteran's Day Parade in Manassas, VA.  The parade had 91 Grand Marshals.  Why 91?  It was decided that the parade would honor as many Prince William County World War II veterans as possible and 91 was the number who responded  to the call.

My husband and business partner, Arthur, was one of the 91 since he is a WWII veteran, having served in the South Pacific and China as a US Marine.

As you can see they were aboard a huge flatbed trailer decorated and equipped as a float, leading the parade through Old Town Manassas.  I can attest to the fact they received enthusiastic applause and comments as they rode along.  They stopped across from the reviewing stand as the hour long parade passed in review.

Vet's Float

Vets honoring the flag

Although Arthur is many years my senior he is both physically and mentally alert, but more importantly, like most other men and women on that float he

  • Shouted "Thank you for your service" or "God Bless You" and similar phrases to any active duty military personnel standing along the parade route
  • Paid honor to the American flag with a salute (appropriate for veterans) or hand over their heart each time it passed them

We honor all veterans on this day, but it is easy to understand why the name "Greatest Generation" has been reserved for this unique group. Frankly, they might just be able to fool you and win another war.  At the very least I know they would be more than ready to give it a try if it was necessary.


"We can't all be heroes. Someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by." - Will Rogers


The good people of Manassas played their part enthusiastically as the WWII vets passed by.
